Review: Great recipes, quick and easy meals for those who are short of time! - Another great book from Jamie! I bought this book after watching the first few episodes of the TV series on channel 4. As usual, desertcart was the cheapest place to buy it from and I ordered it in the evening just before 8pm and received the next day with Prime! It's been quite a while since I've felt inspired to actually purchase a recipe book, but a combination of work becoming busier and going on an exclusion diet as part of allergy testing, this book presented itself at the right time. One of the foods i've been asked to exclude is wheat, which seems to be in about every pre-made sauce, meal or seasoning so it's becoming increasingly difficult to plan a variety of meals whilst cutting out a range of common ingredients. The book is very simple and easy to follow. 5 ingredients listed on the left with images, instructions alongside as well as nutritional info and a large picture on the right of the finished product. I'm not sure why, but I really didn't expect it to have as many recipes as it does - 130 in total! Classic Jamie style, nice relaxed cooking, no overly-fancy preparation, just simple, easy and delicious food. Some of the recipes aren't as quick as they would first seem (unless you're a professional chef). For example, one of my favourite recipes, the Quick Asian Fishcakes are probably quicker to make than a standard fishcake, but mincing using a chef's knife (as shown on the show and in the instructions) is not all that quick - tasted absolutely amazing though! The categorisation is quite nicely laid out too: salads, eggs, pasta, meats by type, fish rice and noodles and then sweet treats - this comes in handy if you see a joint of meat on offer and are not sure what to do with it. There are quite a few recipes that are ideal for those working long hours - nice and easy to prepare and then can be put in the oven with no more fuss. Personally, there's three recipes I am really looking forward to trying: - Harissa Chicken Traybake - Herby Chicken Traybake - Messy Meatball Buns Overall, I think this book is a real gem - for anyone struggling to think of quick and easy meals to cook (without all the 'additional' ingredients in ready meals, sauces and seasoning packs), I highly recommend this book!
Review: Great cookbook - clear - Concise and dead easy to follow with good photographs. (Recipe list in review) - As a mad keen home cook I have loads of cook books from all the well and not so well known chefs. I have quite a few of Jamie's and was eager to get my hands on this one! It's a typical Jamie Oliver Cookbook - nicely put together - very easy to understand - dead easy to follow the well written recipes and he provides us with a nice colour photograph of how the finished dish should look. Not that it always does in my case! Each left hand page shows you the 5 ingredients down the left side and has the nutritional info along the bottom. The right hand page is a full colour photograph of the finished dish. Really plain and easy to follow. I have already made the Asian Fried eggs which were delicious and I'm making the Nutty Kale Salad for my dinner in work tonight. If you want to see what's inside before you buy - here's a list of the dishes/recipes in order as they are presented in the book. . . .

I really like this one from Jamie. It's clear, concise and very easy to follow. As somebody who grows theIr own veg I found there's loads of good veggie options in here too. Loving the egg dishes in here as well. I think I'll be buying a few for christmas for foodie freinds. Recommended.
